Cam woke with Dusty in her bed, reflecting on how grateful she felt that they had found their way back to each other. In the quiet morning, she made coffee and considered how much Anne’s house had come to feel like her home. She resolved to try to buy it or find a way to stay and also realized she wanted to accept a full-time role with Rebel Blue.

Cam called Gus early and officially accepted the job as Rebel Blue’s lawyer, planning to give notice at her firm and transition after closing her caseload. Elated, she returned to Dusty, who joined her in the kitchen. She told Dusty about the offer and her acceptance, and he supported the idea of working together. Cam also shared her wish to secure the house for herself long-term, which seemed to surprise Dusty.

After more flirting and intimacy, Cam and Dusty went grocery shopping together, enjoying small talk and rediscovering each other’s habits. In the refrigerated aisle, they ran into Chloe—Cam’s former teammate and Anne’s granddaughter—who casually mentioned that Dusty had bought the house and assumed Cam and Dusty had been married for years. Cam was shocked, and Dusty looked guilty.

Cam confronted Dusty in the store, hurt that he had never told her. Dusty asked to discuss it privately, and they left in strained silence. During the drive, Dusty explained he had bought the house five years earlier when Anne’s family planned to sell to a developer who might tear it down. He said he wanted to preserve the place because it was Cam’s dream house and a place of meaning, and he arranged for Anne to live there as long as she wanted.

Dusty further explained that, after Anne moved to assisted living, he rented the house to Cam because he could not imagine living there without her and wanted her to have something of her own. He insisted he had not intended to trap or manipulate her and planned to tell her when their relationship felt more stable. Cam pressed him on why he had not disclosed it earlier, especially when she asked how he ended up in the cabin.

Overwhelmed by a sense of betrayal and a loss of agency, Cam told Dusty to leave. Dusty pleaded that he had come back for her, but Cam ended the argument with the cutting remark that he should have stayed gone.
